Shower curtain sizes are not as standard as the name suggests, and the wrong drop is the most common buying mistake. This guide covers standard size shower curtain dimensions, stall size shower curtains and every extra-long option, with links to each size collection.
Standard shower curtain size
The default panel is 72 x 72 inches, which suits most tubs on a rod hung at the usual height. If your rod sits higher, or you have a ceiling-mounted rail, you will need a longer drop rather than a wider panel.
How to measure
Measure from the rod down to roughly 2 inches above the floor for the length, and add 10 to 12 inches to your rod width so the curtain gathers properly when closed.
